The Node Address downloaded with the PanelView application file
will overwrite the current terminal setting. You can set a new
terminal address by using the terminal PROFIBUS DP screen,
however, the new address will take affect only after the terminal is
reset.

mechanisms do not provide the ability to detect and
report a duplicate node address between a DP Master
and DP slave device, or between two DP slaves (only
between two DP Masters).
